PARTISAN CUSSEONESS Democrat Fought for the Union Whig legislatures Carrlad Tirglnia and Tannasss Iato tha Confederacy In criticising Mr. Bryan's explana tion of the last two panics this country has witnessed, Bro. Wolfe in his Home Record says: "In applying the facts of history Bryan will discover that the panic of 1873 was the result of the contrac tion period as the result of the war to wipe out the democratic slave-holding-rebellion. "The democratic panic during Cleve land's administration was really due to the insufficient revenue to keep up the gold reserve under free trade." In his one column article Bro. Wolfe butchered more history than Mr. Bry an ever did in all his life, and as Mr. Wolfe is an old editor and a thorough student such glaring misstatements can only be attributed to downright partisan cussedness. The panic of 1873 was caused by the contraction of cur rency, as he says, and the demonetiza tion of silver, which he didn't say. The point Mr. Bryan 'made was that we have not always had the good times, as claimed, under republican adminis tration. As an inducement to Bro. Wolfe to brush up on American history we wish to state that 635,000 Breckenridge bolting democrats, and half a million Bell and Everett whigs formed the nucleus of the rebel army that Vir ginia and Tennessee were carried out of the union by whig legislatures that a million and a quarter of Doug las democrats bore arms in defense of the union that the 375,000 Brecken ridge democrats in the north remained at home and organized the copper head brigade that they and their de scendents are now dead, good-republicans, or democratic reorganizers they have been and are now shaping the policy of the republican party that the financial traitors of New York during the war are the men who havo dictated the financial policy of the government ever since who endeavor, and in part succeed, in doing the think ing for every national banker in the United States, including Bro. Wolfe. Again, we wish to state that it was the republican policy of reconstruction and carpet-bag rule, which Hayes af terwards repudiated and . abandoned, that made the south line up solidly democratic. In spite of the fact that copperheads had made the democratic party so detestably odious, the rascal ity of republican leaders so disgusted the country that in 1872 the democrats won the lower house. In order to com plete their subserviency to the Bank of England and the financial traitors of Wall street, the republicans re venged their defeat in the short ses sion of 1873 by demonetizing silver. The money power has owned the re publican party soul and body ever since. On the last panic our brother writes with the flippant assurance of a young amateur, instead of the care and cau tion which we remember in early years. Brother Wolfe is certainly not ignorant of the fact that the Cleveland panic occurred a year before any "free trade" measure was passed. Mr. Cleve land took up the republican policy the destruction of silver money and re tirement of greenbacks. The McKin ley bill was in force when the panic occurred, and remained in force for a year thereafter. During his first encumbency Mr. Cleveland bought bonds to prevent the treasury from being glutted in ex cess of needs, and keeping money hoarded in the . treasury, that was needed in circulation. To obviate the necessity of piling up money not need ed, he recommended tariff reduction. It caused his defeat When the re publicans got back a billion-dollar con gress destroyed the Cleveland argu ment for tariff reduction. The McKin- ley bill, raising the tariff from 42.70 per cent, which had glutted the treas ury under an honest, economical dem ocratic administration, to 48.67 per cent, was ineffective. When Cleveland returned in 1893 he found an empty treasury, and the bonds already pre pared to buy gold '.to replenish the treasury. The only honest act that Cleveland ever did after his second inauguration was to boldly support the republican ticket In 1896. Bro. Wolfe says Bryan's 16 to 1 ar gument was fallacious. The only 16 to 1 argument he used was in calling attention, to the fact that republicans had kept up the fallacy of coining the seignorage and all the other silver they could get their hands on. That is certainly true. Making arguments for Mr. Bryan which he didn't make, is a much safer proposition behind your bank counter, than making them through the columns of the Home Rec ord, Bro. Tom. Butler County Press. Some very drastic measures are be ing taken with the small trusts and combinations who are attempting to fleece the people in immitation of the great trusts. At Richmond, Ind., the dealers in soft coal ran -the-price up to an exorbitant figure. .The city coun cil, to . protect the poor, from extor tion. anDointed a' committee to buy coal and sell it for $2 a ton less than the dealers wanted. When the trusts get as big as e steel and sugar com bination nothing short of the general government can do anything with them, and as the republican govern ment &t Washington won't even try to do a-nything, they are permitted to extort whatever contributions they see fit to take from the people. The present attitude of the trusts and tariff grafters, if persisted in, will re sult in a complete reorganization of this government, and some of them be gin to realize that fact. The destruc tion of competition will be followed by public ownership. The editor of The Independent re quests several correspondents in the eastern states to read the article en titled . "Dollars and Debts," and take it for an answer to the questions that they have asked. It is true that the value of all things, as expressed in terms of money, cannot rise or fall, for as the value of commodities go up, the value of money ' must go down. That is to say that the value of money cannot rise and fall both at the same time. When all values, both money and commodities, are Included in the one statement, there can be no rise or fall. One correspondent says: "But wealth does increase." In what terms does he express that Increase? If half the quantity of the money in the world were destroyed, there would be a very great decrease of wealth. All the wealth that there was in the world would remain, but its "value" as ex pressed in terms of money, would greatly decrease. TEDDY'S SPEECHES Republican Insults .Compared With the Courtesy with "Which the Opposition Treat the President Just suppose, for the sake of con trast, that President Roosevelt were a democrat. In that event, can any one imagine the ridicule which would be heaped upon him by the republi can press, which praises so highly his speechifying travels? Notoriety-seek er, sensationalist, mountebank such are the terms, judging from past ex amples, which tne republican newspa pers would apply to our chief execu tive if, as a democrat, he were mak ing the same sort of a personal cam paign as he is now doing. But as he is a republican, and the nominal head of the nation, the demo cratic papers are refraining from com menting too sarcastically on a tour that reminds one almost irresistibly of the travels of Don Quixote, setting forth and tilting at windmills ; with ludicrous results. Not but what there are real robber barons enough to challenge the bravery of the knight, and he would seek them; but he evi dently prefers to shun the real con flict, refusing the lance offered by the Sherman law, and availing himself of the doubtful armor of future constitu tional amendment. No wonder Rosin ante kicks her heels and playfully dis ports every time a windmill comes into sight, thereby reminding the public of nothing so much as a bucking broncho. Of course, we all know that our cow boy president has no fear of a bucking broncho, also that he Is lightning on (the draw, and a dead sure shot with al. But we should think that his ex perience as a historian would have taught him of the futility of rapid-fire speeches from the tail-end of an ex press train. However, it is to be presumed that he feels that he cannot trust his sen ators, his cabinet members, or the pro visional orators of his party to ex pound his views in public. This Is, doubtless, because his views are so peculiar to himself that no one save Roosevelt, Ipse, can expound them. In the meantime, the public is greatly edi fied by the spectacle of Teddy the Ter rible. ANIDROSIS, SKOWHEGAN, MAINE.

IRM9ATED LAUDS Government Report Shows Successful Sys tem of Irrigation From Storage Reser oire In Colorado. Home-Seek-ersShonld Investigate In another cqlumn readers of The In dependent win nnd an advertisement of irrigated lands In the Cache la Pou dre Valley near Ft. Collins, Colorado, offered for sale by the Woods Invest ment Co. These . lands are Irrigated by a system of reservoirs as com plete and excellent in their construc tion as can be found anywhere In the irrigated countries. The results ob tained by settlers In that locality were so excellent that the department of agriculture sent a special engineer to investigate the system and make re port. His reports can be found in the United States official report, the Year Book of the department of agri culture for 9101, beginning at page 415. This engineer in his report says: 'ReservoJrs are being built because those now in operation are successful and vrofitable. These have paid their builders and are benefiting the com munities they serve In a surprising degree." In his official report he de scribes the construction of the reser voirs, their operation, when they are filled, wiion the water is used, and the benefits derived from . them. In de scribing why the Cache la Poudre Val ley reserve irs were constructed the government engineer says: ""At cho outset the farmers of these valleys irrigate directly from the riv ers. "When their natural flow filled the canals farmers had abundant harvest When the rivers ran dry the farmers saw their crops wither and perish. But this latter was rarely the case at first Wheat and hay were the lead- j ing crors and as these were irrigated while the mountain snows were melt ing and the rivers were high, there were few complaints of drouth. All this was changed when wheat farming gave way to diversified crops and al falfa and potatoes became important products. Then water for late irriga tion became a paramount necessity and the ratural flow, of these streams failed o supply the demand. When the snows on the mountains disap peared the water in these streams shrank; not slowly, but suddenly. The Irrigator who quit work on Saturday nl?ht with all the water he needed often found when he attempted to resume his labors Monday that his ditch was empty. After July 15 the early approprlators controlled both rivers. There was not enough left for later approprlators to keep alike the shade trees and orchards and much less to mature their crops or even the more valuable products. Farm ers, as they looked upon their parched fields, thought regretfully of the wa ter which had run to waste a few days before and realized that their losses we:e not due to a scanty supply, but to its faulty distribution. To remedy this the floods had to be held back un til tbey were needed and farmers be gan to provide for this. In order to do this it was not nec essary to explore the motfntains for reservoir sites and build costly dams across canyons. Nature had made ready for this need ?vhen It should ap pear by providing storage sites amidst the fields where the w.ater was to be used. These valley s like all the country along the eastern base of the Rocky Mountains, slppe away from the mountains with a fall varying from 10 to 25 feet per mile. Scattered over this incline are depressions which can be filled from the canals which cross the slope above them and be emptied by means of cuts or tunnels on the lower side. Some of these basins have natural outlets which have to be dammed. Where a reservoir outlet is too low to Irrigate the lands of Its owners, an exchange is made with the holder of early appropriations, giving the stored water for an equal volume from the stream. The upper canals fill the reservoirs and the lower ca nals take the water from these reser voirs in times of shortage, leaving the water of the stream to the upper ca nals. Such is a brief outline of the sys tem. The large number of separate reservoirs it Includes prevents describ ing each one separately. Those se lected are the most important" Describing one of the many reser voirs in the Cache la Poudre Valley where the Woods Investment Com pany lands are offered for sale, the United States engineer says: "This Cache la Poudre reservoir cov ers 60 acres. Is 32 feet deep, and holds 8,034 acre-feet of water. It was filled last winter between November and June. The reservoir is owned by the people who use the water, and who have been incorporated as a company, with 375 water rights. Thirty-five rights belong to the Lake Canal com pany stockholders. The rest are usea in Cache la Poudre Canal No. 2. This canal suDDlies water to 30,000 acres of land. The reservoir water is used be tween July 15 and September 30. with out It this year there would have been no potato crop and the third crop of alfalfa would have been short From the river alone only the gram crops and two crops of alfalfa could have been brought to maturity. The man ager of the canal estimates that the reservoir was worth this year to the farmers under It $500,000. The original cost of the reservoir was 1105,000. It is valued at $200,000. To operate and maintain it costs $1, 000 a year. It has been in operation since 1892. In running the water out of the reservoir a weir at the outlet measures the total flow, and each farmer has ' a measuring weir in his own lateral. v There are two embankmentsne 2,- 000 feet long and 16. feet high, the other one-half mile long and 36 feet high. Both are 16 feet wide at the top, with slopes of 2 to 1 on the out side and 3 to 1 on the Inside. The in side slopes are covered with 2 feet of gravel and then riprapped with stone to at least 1 foot in thickness. The outlet Is located at the deepest por tion of the highest embankment In building this bank a trench 1,000 feet long and 6 feet deep was excavated as a precautionary measure. , It was made wide enough for a team to work in, and filled with better material be fore the bank was built above it The outlet Is on marshy ground and required considerable care in construc tion.

Clean cobblestones were put into the trench to a depth of 2 feet; these were hammered down well with mauls, then thoroughly slushed with mortar, one part cement to four parts sand. ' On this foundation rubble ma sonry was built fVz feet thick, careful ly laid in mortar, and slushed every foot of height, so as to be sure every joint was completely filled. After the top had been slushed it formed the floor of the outlet The opening is five feet wide and five feet extreme height, arched on top.

Gen tlemen: I am well satisfied with the farm that I purchased through your agency near Fort Collins, Colo. I per sonally investigated the reservoir sys tem and am satisfied that there is no possible doubt about there being plen ty of water to irrigate the lands you are selling. I interviewed quite a num ber of farmers In that section who hold their land at from $100 to $150 per acre and do not want to sell at that as they are perfectly satisfied and don't know where they could invest the same amount of money where they would get as good results. I paid $40 per acre for my eighty-acre farm without any building improvements. Other lands were offered me up to $K5 per acre according to the statement that you made me before I went to see the country. Yours very truly, JOHN ELDGREDCiiS. Palmyra. Neb., Oct. 3, 1902. Woods Investment Co., Lincoln. Dear Sirs: Yours of recent date asking how I liked Fort Collins and the North Pou dre country received. In reply will say what I saw was a revelation to me. The abundance of all kinds of farm produce, hay, grain, . vegetables, fruit. etc.. were prima facie evidence 01 a rich, fertile country. "A land flowing with milk and honey," one in which one might delight to dwell. It is not only a good home for man, but for beast All kinds of stock thrive there. It seems to be especially adapted to sheep and cattle feeding and abundant provision is made ior feeding large numbers of them every winter. The extensive reservoirs of the North Poudre Irrigation company with their millions of feet of water capacity are sufficient guarantee of abundant water supply to those who are so for tunate as to possess stock in that com part. The Boxelder Valley in which a large part of the land of this com pany lies gives promise of being one of the richest of the many rich spots in Colorado. None can foretell the limit of its possibilities. From pres ent appearances the coloring of the rlcture can hardly be too bright to portray the brilliant future of this premising new country. I liked It well enough to secure a piece of land and expect to move thereon as soon as I can get away freni here. I believe that with fertile soil, sun ny climate and plenty of water to ap ply when needed abundant rewards await the man who is willing to work. Respectfully, W.
